The Santa Claus at the shopping mall was very surprised when a young lady about 20 years old walked up and sat on his lap. Now we all know that Santa doesn’t usually take requests from adults, but she smiled very nicely at him so he asked her, ‘What do you want for Christmas?’

‘Something for my mother, please,’ replied the girl sweetly.

‘Something for your mother? Well, that’s very loving and thoughtful of you,’ smiled Santa. ‘What do would you like me to bring her?’

Without turning a hair the girl answered quickly, ‘A son-in-law.’
